Dudu Myeni in Richards Bay court following arrest
Updated | By Newswatch
Former South African Airways chairperson Dudu Myeni has been arrested.
The NPA's Investigating Directorate says Myeni, who also chaired the Mhlathuze Water board, was taken into custody on Friday morning, along with Trevor Mathenjwa, a director at Bosasa subsidiary Sondolo IT.
They are facing fraud and corruption charges relating to an amount of R300 000.
Myeni was implicated in the State Capture Commission of Inquiry, where the government's contracts with Bosasa came under scrutiny.
At the inquiry, the former COO of the facilities management company, Angelo Agrizzi, testified that Myeni was paid R300 000 monthly while she was the chairperson of the Jacob Zuma Foundation.
Agrizzi claimed that on one occasion, the money was stuffed in a Louis Vuitton bag.
